The International Living Future Institute is hosting its tenth annual unConference, Living Future 2016, May 11-13, 2016 at the Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle, Washington. Living Future is the forum for leading minds in the green building movement seeking solutions to the most daunting global issues of our time. This year we will focus on the diverse layers of Truth + Transparency. Out-of-the-ordinary learning and networking formats lend to the design strategies and cutting-edge technical information that abounds at Living Future. Keynote speakers Ed Mazria (Architecture 2030), Steve Curwood (NPR’s “Living on Earth”) and Juan Martinez (North Face + National Geographic Explorer) will share their unique strategies and successes for working toward a future that is inclusive and robust for everyone. Come celebrate a decade of innovation, and experience the added noteworthy twists that will exemplify the essence of the unConference.
